← GeographyWhich process primarily causes horizon mixing during pedogenesis?
A)Organism-driven soil microstructure disruption✓
B)Inorganic aggregation of clays
C)Chemical precipitation of parent material
D)Thermal fracturing of rock particles
💡 Explanation
Organism activity causes soil horizons to mix due to bioturbation: burrowing animals and plant roots physically redistribute soil. This process integrates materials across layers because faunal transport acts against gravitational sorting, rather than any purely chemical process influencing aggregation.
